Ring them bells Photo

Photographer’s Note

Shot outside one of the Wats in Ayutthaya. The visitors to the temple pay their respects by passing every single bell and knocking it with a large wooden stick.

Many beautiful photos can be had here, as younger children are often not tall enough to reach, so the parent and son or daughter work together to ring the bell.

A fine line up with a fine short DOF. I like the dull red tones of the poles as a compliment ot the metals.

Hello Lewis,

Nice play of Focus, Excellent POV, and nice framing.

Younger children can take the help of their Parents to get the POV :) Just kidding.

Hi Lewis, this shot is everything I like! the vertical choice was certainly the best that could be made and the choice of focusing on the second bell also.. harmonious and soft colors make the rest for me! a great shot!

Hi Lewis,
after the soldiers, the bells !
excellent compo and very good focus point.
I like the picture with a short DOF, the focus is well placed on the writing.
Well done

I love such use of dof. Here you found a magnificent subject for this sort of photography. I like the way that the focus changes in steps as we move along the bells. The writing on them has a superb graphic element. A very beautiful photo.

Simply exquisite!
Am happy to have chanced upon your works! Marvellous eye, execution. Superb clarity of the temple bell and the bokeh behind is sensuous.
Bravo
